National Maternity Hospital: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-12
============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

The Minister seems to be indicating that he agrees with Deputies on this side of the House that there are problems and ambiguity with that phrase. He is prepared to provide a definition of that to the committee. In that case, I cannot understand why he is not prepared to include a definition of that in the legal documents, especially given that there are pages and pages of definitions. He says he does not believe that would substantially change the deal.
